[[wysiwyg_imageupload:20947:]]

When the first promo image of Evan Peters as Quicksilver was released for X-Men: Days Of Future Past, the internet nearly exploded as fan reaction was less than thrilled.

Toy Soldiers: War Chest Trailer; Features He-Man & GI Joe

Today, Ubisoft unveiled four new rival toy armies to battle against each other in Toy Soldiers: War Chest.

The fast-paced tower defense action game will be available in standard and Hall of Fame editions on PlayStation 4 computer entertainment system, Xbox One, the all-in-one games and entertainment system from Microsoft and Windows PC this summer.

Toy Soldiers: War Chest Hall of Fame edition brings to life four additional nostalgic action figures that allow players to recreate imaginative battles using their favourite childhood heroes. Energised by the power of Grayskull, the Masters of the Universe army is led by He-Man, The Most Powerful Man in the Universe. Gifted with unimaginable strength and fearless courage, He-Man, Battle Cat and his Eternian warriors team up to protect the Eternia toy box from the forces of darkness.

Also marching into the toy box is America’s highly trained special mission force, code name: G.I. Joe. Led by brave field commander Duke and armed with an arsenal of weapons and overflowing with American spirit, this team works together on the front lines to stop evil in its tracks. Two additional licensed armies will be included in the Hall of Fame edition and announced at a later date.

Hailing from the future, Phantom and her Ghost Company are highly skilled in the art of guerrilla warfare and add a new dimension to the game with their use of deadly technology. Ghost Company relies on surprise, mobility and gadgets, such as drones, to overtake their opponent and liberate mankind. On the other side, Dark Lord is a villainous tactician who leads a vast army of men, monsters and dragons. His Black Dragon army overwhelms enemies with speed and supernatural powers. Completing the four armies are Kaiser, proud leader of the WWI-era German Empire forces, and Starbright, leading the adorable yet ferocious Buddy Bears, Ponies and Pixies from the Star Power army. These four armies will be included in both the standard and Hall of Fame editions.

With more heroes, missions and playable armies than any previous Toy Soldiers game, Toy Soldiers: War Chest is the most expansive title in the series to date.

Hellblade Trailer

Ninja Theory, a Cambridge, UK based independent games developer, announced today that mental health and psychosis are the key themes explored in Hellblade. Inspired by historical events, Hellblade tells the story of Senua, a Celtic warrior who is left traumatised by a Viking invasion. This third person action game, being developed for PlayStation 4 and PC, will follow Senua’s journey into a vision of hell that is the manifestation of her own mental illness.

In order to ensure a sensitive and accurate portrayal of the subject, Ninja Theory has been working closely with Psychiatrist and Professor of Health and Neuroscience from the University of Cambridge, Paul Fletcher, as well as arranging to consult with people who have experience of mental health difficulties.

Paul Fletcher said: “True understanding of mental health is not simply about books, lectures or verbal descriptions but from deeper engagement on all levels. Working with Ninja Theory has shown me the potential that gaming has for sharing in a character’s experiences and engendering empathy in ways that go well beyond those offered by simple academic descriptions. Maybe this approach will contribute powerful new ways of challenging stigma.”

Hellblade is being developed by a small team of 15 people under a development model Ninja Theory call Independent AAA. This approach sees the game being created with all the creative freedom of ‘indie’ development, but with the production values of AAA blockbuster games.

Tameem Antoniades, Chief Creative Director at Ninja Theory, said: “In Hellblade we are pursuing creative independence in order to explore a compelling subject matter and gaming experience that would not be possible under the current retail model.  In movie terms, this would be a quality independent film, not a Hollywood blockbuster.  Digital self-publishing means that we can offer a smaller, but high quality game at around half the price of retail games.”

The project is supported by the Wellcome Trust, a global charitable foundation which aims to build a greater public understanding of science, and in particular health.

Iain Dodgeon, Creative Partnerships Manager at the Wellcome Trust, added: “More and more, games have an exciting and innovative role to play in giving us new perspectives on health and mental health challenges. Rather than being a didactic game teaching us about psychosis, Hellblade allows us to explore it through the creation of a compelling and complex character, and the world that she inhabits.

Hellblade will be available in 2016.

Mark Ruffalo Responds To Jason Statham’s Marvel Remarks

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:20931:]]

Mark Ruffalo smash Jason Statham?

Well, the madder the Hulk gets the stronger the Hulk gets, so maybe Statham better watch out.

Following the rumor that Jason Statham was up to play Bullseye in Marvel’s Daredevil Netflix series, the actor stated he felt Marvel movies aren’t authentic and that his grandma could do the stunts.

Now Mark Ruffalo has words for Statham as Vulture caught up with the Incredbile Hulk actor.

“I mean, do you really need to ask that question? It’s Jason Statham,” Ruffalo joked. “He’s like a featherweight. He’s got nothing on me! Clearly.” 

Ruffalo better be careful though, as Banner definitely doesn’t get any stronger the madder he gets; plus Statham has trained in real life martial arts.

Maybe we’ll see it on the big screen some day?

The series follows Jerrica Benton, whose discovery of Synergy, a powerful computer companion, allows her to transform from co-owner of Starlight Music into a rock star. Teaming with her sister and best friends who form JEM AND THE HOLOGRAMS, they set out to make their musical dreams come true, even as she battles against the ruthless Eric Raymond and his musical protégés The Misfits.

“Jem and the Holograms” has a October 23, 2015 release directed by Jon M. Chu starring Aubrey Peeples, Stefanie Scott, Aurora Perrineau, Hayley Kiyoko, Ryan Guzman, Molly Ringwald and Juliette Lewis.

Synopsis:

As a small-town girl catapults from underground video sensation to global superstar, she and her three sisters begin a one-in-a-million journey of discovering that some talents are too special to keep hidden.

Taron Egerton Would Play The New Wolverine

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:20912:]]

With Hugh Jackman days as Wolverine nearing an end, Fox Studios must have some idea of where they want to take the character as well as the X-Men franchise.

It’s speculated some sort of soft reboot may be the result of X-Men: Apocalypse as Bryan Singer has already cast younger actors in the roles of Jean Grey, Nightcrawler, Storm and Cyclops. In addition, Jennifer Lawrence, Nicholas Hoult and Michael Fassbender have let it be known they aren’t returning.

So who then for Wolverine? How about Kingsman: The Secret Service‘s Taron Egerton? The 25-year-old actor turned heads in the Matthew Vaughn-directed movie that went on to make over $400 million at the box office and has spawned a sequel.

Screen Rant caught up with Egerton, who stated he would consider playing Wolverine.

[Laughs] I am a huge X-Men fan! My feeling about that is… I don’t know if I’m quite grizzly enough. My facial hair is still very thin and patchy. I feel someone who plays Wolverine potentially needs testosterone in abundance. Yeah, I’d love to have a go at it, but I don’t know. [Laughs] I don’t know. I was with Hugh the day that he announced his retirement from that role. I did joke about that very thing with him. But the phone hasn’t rang yet, my friend, so I don’t know.

WB Reviving Akira With Daredevil Season 2 Co-Showrunner

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:20911:]]

It’s learned Warner Bros. is reviving the live-action adaptation of Akira.

THR reports Daredevil Season 2 co-showrunner Marco Ramirez will write a new Akira movie.

Ramirez is also known for writing episodes of Sons Of Anarchy, Da Vinci’s Demons and Orange Is the New Black.

The report mentions Andrew Lazar (American Sniper) and Leonardo DiCaprio’s production company Appian Way Productions are on board as producers.  

Akira almost made it to the big screen back in 2012 with Garrett Hedlund, Kristen Stewart, Ken Watanabe and Helena Bonham Carter attached at one point.

Interestingly enough, Disney just canceled plans for the third Tron film, which was to star Hedlund. Perhaps with Hedlund not doing any more Tron movies, he could hop on the new Akira?

Akira is a Japanese manga comic from Katsuhiro Otomo described by Amazon as:

Welcome to Neo-Tokyo, built on the ashes of a Tokyo annihilated by a blast of unknown origin that triggered World War III. The lives of two streetwise teenage friends, Tetsuo and Kaneda, change forever when paranormal abilities begin to waken in Tetsuo, making him a target for a shadowy agency that will stop at nothing to prevent another catastrophe like the one that leveled Tokyo. At the core of the agency’s motivation is a raw, all-consuming fear of an unthinkable, monstrous power known only as Akira.

Katsuhiro Otomo’s stunning science fiction masterpiece is considered by many to be the finest work of graphic fiction ever produced, and Otomo’s brilliant animated film version is regarded worldwide as a classic.

Bryce Dallas Howard Wants To Play Captain Marvel

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:20909:]]

Bryce Dallas Howard in a Marvel movie? Who is the first character that comes to mind?

For me, it’s Medusa of the Inhumans (obviously with the red hair), but while promoting Jurassic World, Bryce Dallas Howard tells Cinema Blend the following about potentially playing Carol Danvers in a Captain Marvel movie.

Oh my God, will you write that? Will you write that please? Yes, let’s start a campaign now. That would be rad. Those movies are so fantastic, because talk about just these incredibly drawn characters! That’s the joy of the comics, is that you fall in love with these characters and it’s who they are that carries you from journey to journey to journey… it’s not just about set pieces. It’s really about who these people are, and so, yes, I just would love to be in a Marvel film.

While the actress technically did have a role in a Marvel movie, it was for Sam Raimi back in 2007 as Gwen Stacy for Spider-Man 3, enough time has probably passed where she could play a new character.

As of yet, Marvel hasn’t announced anyone for Captain Marvel, but the rumor mills and fan speculation has been churning out names including Jessica Chastain, Emily Blunt, Katheryn Winnick and most recently Charlize Theron.

Jurassic World opens Friday.

Captain Marvel has a November 2, 2018 release date.
